Cyanotype Printing Workshop

Join our Cyanotype Printing Workshop with Charlotte at Riverside Beads in Market Deeping, near Peterborough. This friendly and hands-on workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to discover the fascinating process of cyanotype printing — the traditional art of creating stunning blue-toned images using natural materials and sunlight. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a creative enthusiast, this session is a wonderful way to explore an eco-friendly and expressive craft in a relaxed, inspiring setting.

Charlotte is an experienced artist and tutor who will guide you step by step through the cyanotype process. During the workshop, you’ll learn how to prepare and apply the cyanotype solution, arrange flowers, leaves, and embellishments to create your own unique designs, and expose your prints using natural light or a UV lamp.

Throughout the session, Charlotte will show you how to layer textures, experiment with composition, and reveal your final prints — each one a one-of-a-kind piece of art. By the end of the class, you’ll take home your beautifully hand-printed creations, ready for framing, gifting, or using in other craft projects.
